Snap-on launches new YouTube channel
Published: 24 January, 2020
Snap-on has launched a new UK YouTube channel. Videos featured on the channel include in-depth platform training modules as well as the Diagnostic Quick Tips series.
Training modules on the platform cover Intelligent Diagnostics, SureTrack, setup and navigation including Wi-Fi connectivity on applicable tools. Functional tests are also available, encompassing the current ZEUS, TRITON-D8, VERUS Edge, MODIS Edge, SOLUS Edge and ETHOS Edge scan tools, plus the VERUS PRO, MODIS Ultra, SOLUS Ultra, ETHOS Tech and VANTAGE Ultra systems, and much more.
A spokesman for Snap-on said: “Each platform has its own individual playlist which allows the videos to be followed in sequence and at the technician’s own comfort level. The videos are created to not only show technicians how to use Snap-on scan tools but also to demonstrate how they can be employed to solve the problems they face every day in the workshop.”

- Snap-on: Vehicle system scan reports
The complete vehicle system scan reports offered by car diagnostic tools from Snap-on help technicians to get into good practices and give their customers peace of mind. Running a pre-scan before any vehicle work is done means any hidden issues can be located and the customer can be made aware of them from the outset. The pre-scan code identification helps speed the diagnosis and repair, and when it is followed by a post-scan after work is finished, the report confirms that all concerns were dealt with properly. Snap-on offers pre- and post-scan reports for technicians who own Snap-on diagnostic scan tools, including ZEUS, VERUS, MODIS, SOLUS and ETHOS families.

- Snap-on diagnostic software upgrade
Snap-on has released a new diagnostic software upgrade. Much of the new coverage relates to ADAS systems. Examples of the additions include adaptive cruise control modules on several Alfa Romeo and Fiat models, blind spot monitoring for Hyundai, Land Rover and Mazda variants, Vauxhall Mokka parking assistance and lane keep assist on several Renault and Lexus vehicles. The new ADAS coverage is on top of the wide range of new vehicles and systems added in the latest upgrade. Purchasing the update also back-fills technicians’ tools with all of the information from each previous Snap-on release, bringing the capability to deal with late-model and older vehicles alongside support for facing the new challenges coming into the workshop each day. ZEUS and VERUS Edge users will also benefit from improved management and storage of vehicle photos and diagnostic screenshots, along with faster access on their units to recently-scanned vehicles. Users of the Snap-on ZEUS, SOLUS Edge, MODIS Edge and Ultra platforms, and the VERUS and VERDICT family of products, also get exclusive access to SureTrack with the upgrade.
